ICCV 2025 — visual examples
Choose a visual for its explanatory job
Use a diagram to explain a mechanism or assumption, a plot to expose a relationship, a table for exact comparison, and aligned qualitative panels for visible behavior. Captions should define the setting, symbols, units and supported conclusion. Match the display to the evidence, not to decoration.
Read the display, then its design lesson. Tables and numeric charts below reconstruct explicitly attributed factual subsets. Diagrams are original teaching layouts, not screenshots or reproductions of the papers' architecture. Selected examples are not a prevalence ranking of visual styles.
Data budget is a separate intervention
GT-Loc: Unifying When and Where in Images Through a Joint Embedding Space · Table 4, physical PDF p.7
| Training data (%) | Month error (lower) | Hour error (lower) | TPS (higher) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | 1.4 | 2.72 | 77 |
| 50 | 1.69 | 2.83 | 74.02 |
| 10 | 1.7 | 2.94 | 73.51 |
| 5 | 1.89 | 2.86 | 72.07 |
Observed in the source: A data-budget table makes the degradation visible; retain the non-monotonic hour-error row.
Prepare: State the evaluation setting, units, metric directions and subset selection directly beside the display.
Do not infer: Do not repeat the adjacent prose's understated month-error increase; the displayed 100%-to-5% change is 0.49 months, not 0.3.
An aggregate leader need not win every task
Scaling Laws for Native Multimodal Models · Table 4, physical PDF p.7 (printed p.18)
| Model | TextVQA accuracy | COCO CIDEr |
|---|---|---|
| Late-fusion | 25.8 | 70.7 |
| Early-fusion | 28.1 | 72 |
| Early-MoEs | 30 | 69.6 |
Observed in the source: Group incompatible metrics and retain trade-offs instead of coloring an entire winning row.
Prepare: State the evaluation setting, units, metric directions and subset selection directly beside the display.
Do not infer: This is a selected two-task subset, not the paper's aggregate score or a broad ranking; the source gives no uncertainty for these cells.
Name the non-winning endpoint
Differentiable Room Acoustic Rendering with Multi-View Vision Priors · Table 2, physical PDF p.7 (printed p.43)
| Method | Loudness error (dB, lower) | C50 error (dB, lower) | T60 error (%, lower) |
|---|---|---|---|
| AV-NeRF | 1.26 | 1.03 | 9.5 |
| Diff-RIR | 1.32 | 3.13 | 6.8 |
| AV-DAR | 0.85 | 1.15 | 6.3 |
Observed in the source: The results prose explicitly acknowledges the AV-NeRF C50 advantage; a selective reconstruction should preserve it.
Prepare: State the evaluation setting, units, metric directions and subset selection directly beside the display.
Do not infer: Single-room subset; not an average across all six real environments and not evidence of independent material-property validation.
Pair quality with resource cost
Removing Cost Volumes from Optical Flow Estimators · Table 5, physical PDF p.7 (printed p.85); protocol physical p.6
Axes focus on the displayed range, not a zero baseline. Point numbers match the named configurations below the plot; exact values and comparison conditions remain in the table and caption.
| Method | Total EPE (lower) | Runtime (ms, lower) | Memory (GB, lower) |
|---|---|---|---|
| SEA-RAFT | 0.54 | 169.72 | 8.22 |
| ReCoVEr-MN | 0.99 | 50.16 | 0.49 |
| ReCoVEr-CX | 0.51 | 144.41 | 1.24 |
Observed in the source: The small model exchanges accuracy for much lower memory/time; the larger model occupies a different operating point.
Prepare: State the evaluation setting, units, metric directions and subset selection directly beside the display.
Do not infer: Three-row subset; no error bars supplied. Do not equate training-data flags with identical architecture or tuning budgets.
Make a cyclic variable operational
GT-Loc: Unifying When and Where in Images Through a Joint Embedding Space · Figures 2–3, physical p.4; Section3.2, p.5
Observed in the source: A tiny numerical example can explain a representation choice before the full objective.
Prepare: Name the coordinate period and compare naive versus wrapped distance before the full objective.
Do not infer: Do not copy the published grid, colors, geometry or any result values; this is an explanatory construction, not a reproduced experiment.
Explain overlap through ordered boundary events
EVER: Exact Volumetric Ellipsoid Rendering for Real-time View Synthesis · Figure3 and Equation2, physical p.3
Observed in the source: For a stateful exact procedure, show what changes at each event rather than only drawing a high-level renderer box.
Prepare: Label entry/exit events and the state changed at each boundary before presenting the full procedure.
Do not infer: This teaching construction omits color weighting and transmittance; it must not imply the staircase alone is the full rendering algorithm.
